Abstract

Crude oil production and its uses are considered very important for human needs. The major waste components in crude oil are petroleum hydrocarbons and other toxic substances, which affect the soil fertility, nature, and its physical and chemical properties to a considerable degree. Therefore, this complication is significant for the community and environment. By remediating the soil damaged by the oil contaminant, microbial-mediated remediation is extensively viewed as an eco-friendly and potent technology for the degradation of the contaminated substance in crude oil. Different types of bacteria, fungi, and algae are used in this bioremediation technology, and strategies are being developed to solve this problem. By improving the relationship between these microorganisms and crude oil-contaminated soil, new biotechnologies can be used to improve the organisms that degrade these toxic substances and develop their pathways. And by exploring its functional genes and creating new forms through molecular activity and microbial modification, we can develop a way to degrade this crude oil-contaminated soil. Future research should concentrate on ways to improve bioremediation technology efficiency in order to further alleviate environmental stress on land and aquatic ecosystems.
